Any Upstate NY HAMBers

Just curious...Any Upstate NY (like the Central NY Syracuse area) HAMBers? I spend the Winters in FL, and have run into a bunch down here. Just looking to see if Upstate NY is TOTALLY abandoned. Summer is coming, and would like to run into some kindred spirits...

 

Yeah, I'm stuck up here about 1 hour from Binghamton on I-88 towards Albany. Waiting for warmer weather and to get my new engine done, but neither one is coming fast enough

 

Im in Kingston waiting for spring here as well. Its been a long cold winter.

 

I am in Forestburgh, NY waiting for Spring to come
today this AM it was 40 Ice & Snow is Melting!
My car is Buried in the Snow

 

Whole bunch of us in Rochester.

 

I'm near Delhi in Delaware County. Will get back to work on my 53 Tin Woody body in the spring. Have the motor in the shop for the winter and am accumulating trim, etc. Hopefully together by August. Ken

 

I was at the Rolling Bones party last night ( about as upstate as you can get) and there were probably more than 100 hotrodders there. Some even had their cars.

 

I'm up in Montgomery NY not quite that far upstate only about an hour and a

half from NYC.

 

I always hated that expression / moniker... I grew up 20 miles from Penn border, yet I was an "Upstater".. Of course, with Arkansas as an adoptive home base now, I am a "Damn" Yankee ("Damn" is one who will not go back).. Living in Japan, am a "Gaijin" (foreigner).. .

 

North Tonawanda.I bailed 10 years ago.There was a cartoon in the paper that said "last one to leave turn off the lights" !! It was 75 in N.C.

 

I'm in Brewerton, NY. About 15-20 miles north of Syracuse up 81. I'm about to lose my job here at Magna shithole, New Process Gear. they gave us a good 5-year fuckin. I've almost just about had it with Syracuse but don't really have the balls to leave and my wife doesn't want to move either. We'll make it somehow, someway.

I know what you're saying. My wife won't leave either and all I've wanted is outta here for the last 25 years.Both of our jobs so far are stable but I don't give a shit, I wanna go south

 

Middletown, NY....upstate if you're from NY City, not upstate to anybody else, LOL.

 

I am in the Binghamton area but heading to Florida in March for the Billetproof show at Big Daddy's place.

 

Hey we know what you mean. It gets real cold, last week was a killer. There are a bunch of us from the surrounding Binghamton area. If you have nothing to do hook up with us for some good times and beer. Last month we had over 100 people and lots of old stuff.

There's great food and a band playing for free inside the resturant. We give away all kinds of cool prizes for just showing up. We have all kinds of cool stuff that show up for sale.We do this once a month,Sunday, February 22, 2009 from 3-7pm Wheels Roadhouse Route 434, #3000 Apalchin New York 13732 Hope to See you there!!

So this is the BARN, I hope to get up there this time.

 

I was wondering if there were any upstaters here on the HAMB. I am 30 minutes west of Albany.

 

Thanks for the info Bone daddy..

Dang you guys are right near Skyview.
Have any plans to get together there?

Ya have to make the best out of it here. If we waited for good weather to have any fun ....well...there would not be any...

Great site and I got to have me one of them Tshirts...

Thank you and keep posting your info

 

No.

 

I'm in Marcellus, near Syracuse.

 

I'm a bit east of you all, but frozen cubes here, in the great white north!

 

watertown.......receptacle for all things wanted nowhere else.........

 

The Barn sounds like a good time, I'll have to get down there one of these Sundays.

 

yup a brockport hamber

 

BIG JOHN - Skaneateles here. Use to live in Howlett Hill. Ever hit Skanellus in Monday night?...

 

Seriously, We welcome you guys to come down. Skyview Drags is a blast!!! Hey we test and tune our wacky projects all the time up at Skyview Drags on Friday nights. It is only $15 and all you need is a helmet and no major fluid leaks. You can make as many passes as you can squeeze in. Sometimes driving in we bottom out our jalopies on the rough road coming into the strip. If your up for a ride, come down and we'll lots of fun. It is great to see rods like ours making passes the crowd loves it becasue it's not your usual tubbed cars. It is also cool to see what motors can do. We also bring a ton of tools and the garage/barn is real close if you have a major break down. We can get you back on the road. If we get our 4 banger and straight six project rail jobs done this summer, we might even let you take a tear down the strip. We're in an out of town all summer hitting the road but give us a heads up. Here's the flyer to our big show and to our Feb 22 swap meet and some pics of the inside of Wheels Roadhouse. The place is pure hotrodding and motorcyles. Joe www.powerandnosie.com

 

I'm in the Elmira Corning area. Dam cold here too. I always attend the Syracuse Nats and will again this year.

I was just talking to a friend about going to Skyview this summer. Hope I get a chance to get down your way some Sunday. I will check out the web site.

take care, Dave

 

FNG from Millerton NY, near NW Conn or SW Mass.

 

I would like to see Skyview Dragstip hold a nostalgia gasser event. It looks like a real nice facility and I hope to make the trip there this summer. Wish there was a track like that in my area.
